THE best medical writer's claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, easy of applica-
ton, and one that will, by its own ac-
ton, reach all the remote sores and ul-
cerated surfaces. The history of the
efforts to treat catarrh during the past
few years obiges us to admit that only
one remedy has completely met these
conditions, and that is Ely's Cream
Balm. This safe and pleasant remedy
has mastered catarrh as nothing else
has ever done, and both physicians and
patients freely concede this fact. The
